Salt-Glazed Stoneware Beer Bottle

Shoulder and neck of a stoneware beer or ale bottle. It resembles the "beer or ale mid-19th century," depicted in Greer 1981:81. It is not clear if the parallel lines and double blotches on exterior are intentional or not. They may be drips and drip-lines from the application of an iron wash to the exterior of the bottle.
